Wizard Earl

Chapter 1164 Escape (2)

Although he found it somewhat comical, Adolf, as Isabella's bodyguard, dutifully stood in front of her, even casting a magic net in an attempt to capture Connor Ferguson.

However, at that moment, a jet-black demonic sword appeared in Connor's hand without his knowledge. He unleashed a fierce slash with all his magic power, unleashing two dark energy sword strikes like those of an evil spirit. One of these strikes, taking advantage of the moment when Jonathan, who had just injured Varga, was still unable to react, severed Jonathan's head.

The other sword strike tore through Adolf's magic net effortlessly and headed straight for him.

Adolf, who had initially been relaxed, paled upon feeling the immense power of the oncoming sword strike. However, due to his earlier underestimation of the enemy, it was now impossible for him to mount a counterattack. His only options were to either dodge or withstand the attack head-on; there was no third choice…

Knowing that Isabella was standing behind him, Adolf sighed inwardly and braced himself for the worst. Just then, a gentle magical force struck him from behind. Caught off guard, Adolf was knocked aside.

When the astonished Adolf came to his senses, he saw Connor Ferguson, his face deathly pale, holding a black cross sword to Isabella's fair neck.

Upon witnessing this scene, Adolf felt dizzy and disoriented. To avoid provoking Connor, he immediately signaled to the three dukes and wizards beside him to cease fighting. He then reassured Connor, "Connor, we can talk this out. Please don't do anything foolish!"

Upon hearing Adolf's words, Connor Ferguson remained silent, glancing at everyone present. When he saw that Varga hadn't seized the opportunity to escape, but instead stood watching him from a distance, Connor's heart sank, and he didn't know what to say…

Seeing Bispin and Southgate poised to attack, Connor knew he couldn't let the situation he'd finally managed to control spiral out of control again. He then looked at Varga coldly and said, "Why aren't you leaving? What are you doing here? Do you want me to die in front of you?"

Although Connor's words were cold, Varga could understand the deep emotions and self-sacrifice behind them. Although she was still very reluctant, seeing the urgency in Connor's eyes, Varga bit her lip and immediately made a decision, turning around and flying away without looking back.

Seeing that Varga had finally left, Connor felt a huge weight lifted from his shoulders. However, he still cautiously said, "Please, everyone, don't make any rash moves. I don't want things to escalate today, but please don't push me too far!"

After saying this, Connor's gaze passed over Adolf, Hilbia, and the bald Puig brothers, and landed on Bisping and Southgate. Following Connor's words, Adolf and the others also focused their gaze on them.

Southgate and Bispin, who were preparing to take the opportunity to escape, were watched by everyone. They both gave a wry smile and dared not make any further moves.

Although Connor held the LS Demon Sword to her neck, Isabella, who was being held hostage, remained completely calm and unchanging throughout, as if her life wasn't in someone else's hands...

And so Bispin, Connor, Adolf, and the other four stood there staring at each other for over an hour. As the people around them grew increasingly agitated, and Connor's body began to give way, he felt a deep bitterness in his heart. He never imagined that he would end up here.

Although he felt helpless, the thought that Varga might have already escaped by now, given the hour he had bought him, brought Connor a little comfort.

Just then, Bisping and Southgate could no longer contain themselves. Taking advantage of the moment when Adolf and the others were focused on Connor and Isabella, the two of them, with perfect coordination, fled to the left and right and into the distance.

Seeing Bispin and Southgate leave, Adolf and the others immediately wanted to give chase, but Isabella was still being held hostage by Connor. For Isabella's safety, they dared not make any rash moves and could only watch helplessly as Bispin and Southgate escaped…

However, at this moment, Connor, who had been struggling and feeling dizzy, could no longer hold on. The Derossa Demon Sword in his hand fell to the ground, and he swayed and collapsed on the ground floor, unconscious.

Seeing Connor fall to the ground, Adolf's eyes immediately gleamed with a sharp light; he wanted to take Connor down. However, before the old man could act, Isabella, who hadn't spoken since being taken hostage, coldly said, "I'll handle Connor Ferguson myself. You two go after Bisping and Southgate. Make sure you capture those two and cripple Reyes's right-hand men!"

Adolf glanced regretfully at Connor Ferguson, who was lying unconscious on the ground, upon receiving Isabella's order. He then led the remaining Puig brothers and Hilbia to take up the command, splitting into two groups to pursue the fleeing Bisping and Southgate.

With Adolf and the others gone, only Connor and Isabella remained. Isabella glanced deeply at Adolf, who had fainted on the ground, then sighed with some self-pity. She then took out a pale purple pill from her spatial ring and fed it to Connor.

After taking the purple pill, Connor slowly awoke as its effects took hold. Upon opening his eyes and seeing Isabella standing beside him, he disregarded his pain and sincerely said to Isabella, "Thank you!"

Having just unleashed the Evil Spirit Slash of the Derosa Demon Sword, killing Jonathan who dared to injure Varga and severing Adolf's magic net, Connor was already at his limit. If Isabella hadn't surrendered, or even actively pushed Adolf away, Connor would never have been able to take her hostage, much less buy Varga an hour to escape…
